HelpRe: Autumn, Winter etc…
in reply to a message by Ceri
A historical romance with sisters named Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter?? What was the era it was set in, 1987?
Winter is a GP for me. I think it actually works as a name, and they could always go by Winnie. I like how sharp, dramatic and OTT romantic it is. But I actually really hate the winter. Maybe if I moved somewhere tropical and started feeling nostalgic for the frozen wasteland of my childhood home, I would use Winter. I could see that.
Summer is ok, but it's kind of boring and I can't really warm up to it (ha ha). I admire its trashiness and the girl bully vibes it has, though. I think I prefer it as a middle name?
Autumn is my favourite season, and it's not a terrible name. It would make the most sense for me to use, so that bores me, I hate an easy answer. I just don't think Autumn would hold my attention for long as a name.
Spring is actually the most interesting option for me, because it is the least namey. I don't really have any preconceived notions about it, so it doesn't have any baggage. I know there was an actress from Old Hollywood with this name, Spring Byington, but she was never a big star. Spring feels like it might be really fun to come across on a person; it's bright, clear and offbeat. But I'd say it's a GP for me as well. If I had to pick a season name, I could see myself using this, because it's the weirdest one.
Wynter is very Goth, it's trying VERY hard to be cool. But I could get into it.

1987? 😀 I can see what you mean though. These are definitely 80s names.
Actually it was set in medieval times. I think the author just thought she was being creative with the name theme. I remember Autumn was named so because she had the fiery red hair and golden brown eyes. Winter had the dark hair, pale skin, and blue eyes. Summer and Spring were more named just to complete the theme.
